Watercolor is my passion. After teaching art in the public schools for 40 + years I now have time to create art for myself. I am a watercolorist who sometimes likes to work in mixed media as well. My journey in art began when I was a small child and continues to this day.

Rocks and Ripples

This was painted for the Watercolor Workshop February project - "all paint from one photo." The theme for this month is painting texture and the source photo for this painting certainly has a lot of texture. I decided to do this in a traditional manner - drawing in the ripples and painting around the ripples, one submerged rock at a time - from the top down. The final painting leaves a lot to be desired, but over-all I am happy with the results since I have never tried to paint water ripples before.

Thanks, Joan...My husband is doing better - the c-scan done in December was clear and we see the oncologist again in April. He hasn't recovered his voice, though, and I am wondering if he ever will. Thanks for your concern.
